Monday Oct 5th, I was talking to my son about 5?:: in the evening and the last thing I remember is being taken to the hospital in an ambulance. .The next thing I remember is awaking up in UAMS on Thursday. I had no idea how I got there are what was wrong with me, I fought the nurses and they restrained me and finally told me I had had a stroke on Monday night. I remember nothing about it, I was out of it for two days, Tuesday and Wednesday. I was kept at UAMS until late friday evening and then transferred to ST Vincent HH. for therapy. I was put throught the mill so to speak, for friday through this past friday and them came home to my daughters house until today. Please put me on your prayer list. I'm really not out of the woods, but I have no reside of the stroke except some weakness.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
